Take blue paint, and mix white paint with it. What color do you get? Light blue, obviously. Or maybe sky blue, or robin-egg blue, or columbia blue, or whatever you want to call it. But for most of us, it’s just light blue.
How about green? Mix green paint and white paint, and of course you get light green. And honestly, I have no idea what else you’d call that one.
Finally, let’s mix red paint and white paint. What do you get? Light red? Of course not; you get pink. Not light red, or easter bunny red, or even Susan G. Komen red. No, you get pink.
Really, why does pink get it’s own name? But light blue is just light blue.
I have no idea.
I hope you didn't think that maybe this post was going to be important. I'll try not to waste your time next time!
